Flash blink new chat window in pidgin

Activate the pidgin buddy list window

Click Tools > Plugins

select "Messenger Notification"

click Configure plugin button

Wait for the pop up window to open

click checkbox for Chat windows

also click checkbox for IM windows if you want notification for individual chat IM

click checkbox for flash window under Notification Methods sections

click close.

Now whoever types a new message in group chat, you will be notified in the system bar, just the way by default how you would get notified when you receive new messages in independent chat windows with single persons.

Thank you very much for this. I have tried and tried to see why this didn't work. I finally gave up and went to Spark. Although I like Spark, the company started with Pidgin so I want to have it if anyone comes to me with a problem. This was spot on. I am nitpicking here. On step #3 it is select "Message Notification". Not 'Messenger'.
